There are new rules governing the carriage of gels and liquids in cabin luggage, as part of counter-terrorism measures. Liquids such as toiletries must be carried individually in containers no greater than 100ml, which in turn must be placed in a transparent, resealable zip-lock bag (no bigger than 20cm x 20cm). This will need to be easily removed from your cabin baggage (max 56cm x 45cm x 25 cm) and x-rayed separately. These requirements, in place for the forseeable future, will mean some delay and disruption at airports and travellers should plan accordingly.
